Thank you, Columbia, for a great first year and for a great
start in 2019! Since opening, our total
number of beers brewed is 56. November
30, 2018 marked our one-year anniversary and for that we released a
bourbon/brandy barrel aged imperial stout, One
Year Anniversary.

December 2018, we started our 16 oz. can release
program. In addition to the existing
to-go growler and crowler fills, customers now have the option to take 4 packs
to-go. The first can release included Patisserie,
our blackberry and tart cherry sour ale, and Batch 100, our NE Style Hazy IPA.
The next can release will feature two different beers and will be
announced in March.

For all the lager fans, now available in the tap room is our
Columbia Craft Lager in a 12 oz. 6-pack.
The 6-packs are $11.00 (including tax) and are available year-round.

Currently, our Famously
Hop IPA and Columbia Craft Lager
are our most distributed beers. January 2019, we released two additional beers
for our distribution accounts – Brutally
Honest, a brut pale ale, and Carolinian,
a blonde ale. Look for both of
these specialty beers in restaurants and bars around town!

The next specialty beer hitting the distribution market is Hop Acid, a pale beer soured with
lactobacillus brevis and dry hopped with copious amounts of amarillo, citra, mosaic,
and azacca. It is tart and hoppy, yet easily crushable. Keep an eye out for this tap room favorite
early February.

Our brewer, Shaun, and his team have exciting ideas they
want to bring to the tap room – a cherry and lime sour ale, traditional German lager,
Imperial Stout, Pilsner, New England Style IPA, and a strawberry and pineapple sour
ale…We hope you are ready, Columbia.

Our first annual Oktoberfest was a success! We want to thank everyone who helped make it happen — Mountain Top Polka, The Wurst Wagon, and of course our customers. We released 3 new beers for the event, bringing our total to date to 42 different brews.

In case you missed it, CCBC appeared in Gun and Garden Magazine. The online version can be found here https://gardenandgun.com/slideshow/columbia-sc-love/list/. Check it out!

Upcoming

You’ve been asking, so coming back to the lineup are…Jean Claude Van Dayuum and Citrus All Pro, two of our favorites. On deck…new brews including a Hazy IPA, a Hazy Sour IPA, and a Baltic Porter.

We hope to see you October 21st for the Gervais Street Bridge Dinner. CCBC is a sponsor for the event and a few of our beers will be served. The event is sold out but should additional tickets become available, visit https://www.universe.com/events/gervais-street-bridge-dinner-2018-tickets-3C4F65.

Not in Columbia and want CCBC? We are introducing our beer to retail locations in the Greenville/Anderson area. We are excited to have our beer in the upstate due to it’s young, vibrant craft beer market.

It’s hard to believe, but we are approaching our one-year anniversary in November! To commemorate this milestone, we will release our first barrel aged beer. Come celebrate with us!

Since opening, we have released 35 different beers – sour ales, IPAs, pale ales, lagers, and more. You can currently find our flagship offerings, Columbia Craft Lager and Famously Hop IPA, in 100 retail locations in the greater Columbia area. This spring we released Alien Hat, a watermelon sour ale – look for it in retail locations around Columbia.

Dominque G. joined our team as a full time production assistant to our brewer, Shaun. Dom has been a great addition to our team and we’re excited to have her. Jessica S. and Kurtis S (not related) also have joined the team as beer servers.

We’ve added two brand new 30bbl fermenters and the installation of our new walk-in cooler is complete. These additions to our facility allow us to increase our production for our tap room and to our distributor, KW Beverage. Bring on more beer!

Coming to CCBC:
• Brut IPA – Antibody – new style IPA that is unique, light-bodied, and refreshing.
• Oktoberfest, September 29th – live music, the Wurst Wagen food truck, and Festbier!
